yeah, baby

So, how does a card-making addict tell her husband that after about eight long years of trying, he is finally going to be a daddy?

She makes him a card, of course!!

This is the card I made for Ryan. It's basically a fancy envelope with a mini card inside. The outside of the mini card says "congratulations" and the inside has a stamp of a tiny little yellow onesie, underneath which it says simply "yeah, baby" :-)

Angelic cabbie

This past weekend I was in Fort McMurray, visiting my hubby who is working 24 days straight. It was nice. I got to spend days with my sis, and evenings with Ryan. And I got to spend Ryan's birthday with him!

One morning I was waiting outside for my sister to come and pick me up. As I was standing there, a loose dog came up to me. Now, I'm not afraid of dogs at all, so I put out my hand for him to sniff. I wasn't worried - until he started barking and growling at me! So I figured I would just move along, but when I tried to take a step, he took a step, growling and barking all the more. So I panicked! I've heard too many stories about people getting mauled by dogs - needing hundreds of stitches, and new noses grown on their foreheads! I stood still and started bawling. I didn't know what to do! So I prayed. And lo and behold, a cab came down the street. I flagged him down and hopped in before he came to a full stop! The driver was so nice! He let me sit in his cab for a few minutes until I calmed down and stopped shaking and the dog wandered off. I am convinced that that cabdriver was an angel sent by God.
